Psa - regular submission are back

[mintacular]

At $100/ card. If a grader takes 30 secconds to grade each card the consumer is paying approx. $12,000/hr. for the service of someone to look at card and give it a grade.

But I think they average more than 30 seconds. Maybe 35.

I predict that PSA will drop the Regular Service price down again rather quickly. $100 per card for 3 month turnaround is ridiculous, and I doubt the $50 difference from Express pricing opens the floodgates for Pokemon and 2020s Panini commons that they are surely concerned about.

"3 month turnaround is ridiculous"

What is even more ridiculous is they have never guaranteed any type of turnaround time so "3 months" could mean 1 year lol

I agree, it's all ridiculous!

There was a thread on BO that I read not too long ago. It was asking what criteria should be used for determining if a card should be sent into PSA for the $150 service level. All responses were from modern dudes. There was no consensus but the threshold for value was very low.

My sense is that the $100 will get shut down after the post office refuses to deliver their mail again due to volume. With 7.5 million cards in backlog, still, it makes NO sense to open things up at $100 per card.
